Hanging with Will Shakespeare again. Ask us anything.

We're cooking up this week's edition of WSTFTD.

Will just took a swig of his drink and said: "This must be Thursday. I could never get the hang of Thursdays!"

Me: "Dude! Someone else's comedy! Let's have an original!"

Will Shakespeare offers his apologies for not offering a Thought For The Day this weekend.

He's a little hung over. He and Ben Jonson went drinking at one of Phil Henslowe's taverns this weekend, and got a little plotzed.

After he got smashed, he kept saying to Jonson: Stop calling me 'Sweet Swan', will you? The other lads are starting to make fun of me!"

He promises to have a good edition up this coming weekend...

I just finished doing the math; I visited with 98 patients last week!



No wonder two days were not enough to recover...

But we're off and running on another week. If I'm not back by 6pm tonight, send someone in after me...

My favorite kind of Thanksgiving leftovers:

The fridge full of booze we never got around to drinking.

I boughts tons of the stuff for the feast. We had a house full of guests, and I like to be a good host. No guest wanted for beer, cider, or wine; many broughts bottles of their own, and my glass recycler is brimming with empties.

But there are still bottles and bottles left in the fridge, and all for me!...

Having a beer with lunch right now...
